- The Finnish Supreme Administrative Court (Decision No. KHO:2026:74) clarified VAT treatment for equipment leasing arrangements that include device protection services.
- It held that the device protection service was not a separate VAT-exempt insurance activity because the leasing company retained significant risk and did not merely pass through insurance coverage or premiums unchanged.
- The ruling addressed whether the leasing and device protection components should be treated as a single taxable supply for VAT purposes.
